On Virgil.

Nor are the Latines more; the Æneiads be
But Iliads; in' Georgicks Hesiods Plagiarie:
In his Bucolicks own's Theocritus Muse:
For other faults, time, and his death excuse.
But while he Dido wrong'd with falser fire,
His verse deserv'd the flames he did desire.
Tibullus, Gallus, and Propertius be
Froth'd like Loves Goddesses out of vanity.
These to Lusts Idols do but Altars rear,
And kindle flames of hell while we are here.
May Ovids books like him exiled die;
Lusts breath's infectious is in Poetry.
66

While Juvenal 'gainst Vices do declaim,
He Vice gives birth, which else had lost a name.
Martial doth twang, and well might sent of wit,
Did not obscenities ranknesse stifle it.
